Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes, if using)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-2 inch cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
-
Assemble the Skewers:
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 375°F if baking).
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
-
Cook the Skewers:
- Grill Option: Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
- Oven Option: Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.
-
Add Parmesan:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven. Immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot chicken skewers, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
-
Serve:
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
